The area is gorgeous and we went to the race track,with the Irish horses and got real close as it is the oldest track unremodeled one and were amazed. This brought back some great memories...Thanks!

  13. What an amazing place. The setting is breathtaking!

    The building is wonderful and intriguing. It's like two buildings merged into one. The glass dome is magnificent!

    Hope you have had a nice and snug weekend. We're raining away in Sydney and it is so cold!

  24. This brings back childhood memories - 10 of us squished into the back of station wagon for an excursion to Powerscourt. My uncle and cousins lived in Dun Loaghaire (? spelling), so we always had a few weeks there each summer.
    Lovely
